Världens bästa bilar, 940 och 240.
Min favvo är min 945 turbo -97.. nyskick och 58 tusen mil nu.❤

Please don't stop doing videos, they are really good

[Gasthauz]

Love your videos man and so looking forward to follow this project!

Nice car, looking forward the the video series of this recommissioning.

I have a 95 940fk wagon here in Australia.

The broken dipstick was one of the issues mine had too

[SJOTT]

Welcome back to live, looking forward to see more of the 940! 👌🏼

[Shadetreesaints]

Welcome back! Thanks for the English content.

[SimpsonsClassics]

Great to see you back on the tools ! I do miss my 940 turbo. Looking forward to more on this 👍

That fuel leak is why my 745 nearly burnt down. tho it was the other line going down to chassis. Recommend changing both of those hoses.

[tuomas]

Wow.
keep it all original, I have s70 classic in my garage.

[cheharrison]

Hey, thanks for the 940 content, theres not a great deal of it on YT. I'm currently restoring a 96 940 b230ft m90 which needs a lot of love. The one you have there looks to be a high spec. Look forward to seeing what you do with this one 🤘

[ejoautovideos]

Awesome content my friend! Glad it started up so easily, and you'll have that fuel leak sorted in no time! Can recomend Cohline's fuel hose that's rated for petrol, biodiesel and 100% ethanol, that's the only aftermarket fuel hose I've tried that doesn't develop cracks over time.

Yeah I remember those factory alarm systems from the 90s and even well into the early 80s on some luxury cars of that era certain cars had them integrated into the vehicle and you could get an optional remote fob for the alarm as well on Volvos back in the day. To arm/disarm the system you do so manually via the key in the driver's door. I forget if it starts or not when the car is in active alarm mode but I think turning the ignition on/off resets the system along with the key in the door should do the trick as we saw it did.

What a cool car! I really like the look of the red brick

[ETA]

One of the last made "REAL" Volvo's

The oilpan screw on the B230 is actually the last remaining non metric. It’s 1“ not 25/26mm.

7 years, I'd just have got a new battery, checked the oil, and started it up.
To remove the front pulley bolt, just jam the start ring with a pry bar.
Factory water pumps are always better left alone if they are good. Even Volvo replacements are not as good as factory items.
Alarm has a starter motor interrupt immobiliser. The alarm is enabled and disabled with the fob. It can be extracted and bypassed or replaced with a aftermarket unit.
There is am entirely separate RFID chip-in-key immobiliser that works digitally with the fuel ECU, the immobiliser module and fuel ECU are coded, but you can lose the function if you chip the fuel ECU. If the alarm is off and the key is not recognised, it will start the first time for a few seconds and then stop. The system is always operational, but is only for starting the engine, it will stay running if you take the RFID chip away. There is no way to disable it as it is.
Alarm is behind the glove box in the UK, not sure about the US but it will be on an A pillar. Alarm is unreliable and will die eventually, seems you are missing the fob. Immobiliser is not too bad, but you need major surgery to fix it if it goes. RFID chip is removeable from the key.
The ECU doesn't prime every time in this year, earlier ones did up to 95. I think You have to leave it 10s + in ignition off before it will prime again.
I took the entire Engine, ECU and RFID module, and put it in my 360 and put the chip in the torch key inplace of the bulb, works great.

Perfekt för nån 18åring att sladda runt på vintern me

Tänk om man ändå hade hittat en sådan 😊
Vad är det för gummi handskar du använder? Ser ut att vara lite rejälare än de tunna jag brukar nyttja.

Do you have any comment on the recent fatal XC40 uncommanded acceleration incident?
